Gelsemium sempervirens is a twining vine that grows 3–6 m high when given suitable climbing support. It has thin stems and clusters of yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers with a strong scent. Common names include yellow jessamine or jasmine, Carolina jasmine and woodbine.
Homeopathically, Gelsemium is treats numerous complaints in which weakness is an accompanying symptom. While this weakness is especially noted in the muscles, creating trembling and weariness - even to the point of paralysis or paresis - it may also be seen in the mental and emotional area with symptoms of lack of confidence, cowardice, timidity, and stage fright.

Common Uses
When the remedy matches the symptom profile, Gelsemium has the ability to treat conditions such as anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, double vision, diarrhoea, fever, influenza, headache and migraine, laryngitis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, paralysis, tremor, and vertigo.
